The CPV Woodbridge project will help turn the site of a former chemical plant into a state-of-the-art energy center. The project will generate enough electricity to power 700,000 homes, helping New Jersey meet its energy demand while improving the state electric system's reliability and environmental profile. The project is expected to enter commercial operation as soon as the first quarter of 2016 and will be operated by an affiliate of co-owner ArcLight. CPV is managing the construction process.

"I'm proud to be here today in Woodbridge for the groundbreaking of this state-of-the-art facility that will contribute to New Jersey's environmental, economic and public health," said Governor Christie. "This $845 million investment will bring cleaner, more efficient energy to our state and create nearly 500 construction jobs, as well as two dozen permanent jobs in the area. I congratulate and thank Mayor McCormac and CPV for working together to bring this innovative project to our state."

"This vital energy infrastructure project would not have been a reality without the visionary leadership of New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, Senate President Stephen Sweeney and Woodbridge Township Mayor John McCormac," said Gary Lambert, CPV President. "Governor Christie's and the Legislature's initiative to bring new energy generation to New Jersey will benefit electricity consumers across the state for years to come. Mayor McCormac's championing of this project paved the way for significant local economic benefits including long-awaited public access to the Raritan River through a former brownfield site."

CPV Woodbridge will provide strong economic benefits to the community -- up to 500 skilled workers during construction, 25 full-time workers during operations, significant tax revenue and contributions to a broader initiative to create public access to the Raritan River.
